This entire episode is full of real toilet clogs. 2311... REALLY???? It's weird, when the timed levels are the easiest parts of an episode. I'm still fighting licorice on 2315. It never starts a move close enough to hit a mixer (much less both mixers) before the board is over run with licorice. I get the impression that King planned this as being everyone's retirement episode...

Finally got 2315 (licorice hell). It's all about getting a lucky board. If I could have played this on my Kindle, I would have reset the board a few million times until it cam up acceptable... not an option on the PC. If you can't get a couple hits, on a spawner (preferably both), right away... might as well quit and start a new round.

Just finished this weeks batch (2316 to 2330). Probably the most annoying was 2329, and that was just because of the way I was approaching it. Collect 60 blockers, 20 licorice, and 10 chocolate. Everything is easy except the licorice that comes from dispensers in the top left and right corners. These dispensers also give you bombs. I kept trying to do it by just freeing up one of the dispensers, to avoid fighting bombs on both sides. That doesn't work. You have to free both dispensers or you'll never get enough licorice (but you will get more than enough bombs).

Jesus, this week was an absolute horror show, one hateful level after the other! Its just no fun when you have 5 movement to clean out a whole bunch of jelly. It wasn´t enjoyable this week, mostly a drag, endless waiting for that lucky board. Not only the levels marked as difficult were difficult, far from it. Hope it is not new trend.

Those of you who don't like to use boosters, well I have got news for you. Level 2361 is an orders level where you have to clear 2 popcorn blockers, only there are none on the board nor do any appear till the very end of 50 moves!

Therefore, I had to use my own lucky candy booster to first form the 2 popcorns and then clear them!

I am in Canada playing CC on a PC through the king.com website.As of today the levels available only go up to 2330. We get new levels every Wednesday morning.The above few comments refer to levels beyond 2330 - the latest quoted being 2362.I know there are differences in the release schedules depending on the platform being used, but I wasn't aware we were behind some other areas on PC.

My recipe now for candy crush on my iPhone (by the CC burn out that can't stop playing):

Wait a week until the mobile phone catches up.Blast through the levels in 1-2 days using every booster available and wait for the perfect board to use them on before making the first move.Spend the rest of the week accumulating candy drops and making more boosters using 6 or 7 reliable levels.Play the diamond path over and over, and any other special games made available on the mobile phone to acquire even more boosters.Get that free daily spin booster (2 jackpots in the last 5 years!!)Keep my sanity

Sure it's not the pure approach but with about 300-400 of every booster and an irrational addiction to this silly game, why make it any harder then it is. Fun was lost about 2 thousand levels ago...

On level 2367 the fruit hits a dead end! I think they deliberately put in such levels to temporarily halt the progress of players whom they themselves have provided with extra episodes. They will fix it in the next update. They always do.

On the mobile you can restart it without losing lives or boosters if you don't like the board. And you don't lose the lives people give you, if you don't use them right away. And you don't have to wait for lives. You can just move the clock on your phone two hours forward at a time. But it's easier to collect sugardrops on pc as you get double if you complete the level. I had around 200 of each booster on my phone, but suddenly the were all gone :-(

A bit unhappy with the March 1 bunch. 2357 appears to hate me personally. Finally was able to finish it by using stockpiled gold for a set of extra moves. Game then froze and the win didn't register. Hate it when that happens. Out of lives for now.

The game won't load this morning. This is the second time this has happened in a week. Trying to contact King.com is impossible. King care has this online form to fill out that has the reCaptcha function as the last step to validate that you aren't a bot.The Captcha function does not work so you can't submit your issue.King does not want to hear about issues. They just want to collect people's money. Do you know how much King makes on this game? It's in the billions per year.

Just finished the March 1 batch. 2347 is nasty. I don't believe in buying boosters or extra moves, but am a firm believer in using stuff from the sugar drop stockpile as needed. For 2347 I started with a color bomb and a stripe/wrap. Then concentrated on getting them together and building more. I was able to set off two color bomb and wrap combos that did enough damage to pop some corn and open thing up greatly. I also used three hammer to get final items. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's how I did it. During the week of waiting, I'll be trying to clean things up by doing three of the level without boosters.

Well... got up this morning and started my sugar drop harvesting for the day. If I play 1476 one more time, I may go the rest of the way batshit. I don't enjoy the game anymore (not even a little). There has to be more than gathering boosters and waiting for next Wednesday. I doubt if I'll succeed, but I'm (once again) going to try to quit.

Good luck MB, but before you quit could you tell me how to pass level 2356? I'm stuck here.... guess I will have to go and get booster again. I too, hate that we have to keep going and getting the sugar pops.... so boring.... doubt I will quit though. It's the only game I play and I won't let myself get addicted to another like I am with this one. ONward crushers.

AWWW MB I was sorry to see you go. None of my friends are anywhere near this level. I should probably quit too.... Harvesting boosters on the weekends is not really the what I should be doing. Going to get a good book and play less too. Well after I get the final one done on this episode that has even Miss Cookie a bit perplexed.... Onward Crushers I will probably see you all in the next episode cos I don't have the will power of MB.

I never thought I would be able to say this again, but I actually enjoyed this week's episode, and never even once thought of cursing the King programmers. There were only a few "lucky board" levels this time. Please, please, please carry on like this.

I agree very enjoyable and easy this week. 2371 was the hardest for me and took a few boosters - mainly a hammer and switch. The rest a piece of cake. I did use my boosters and had to collect some more for 2371 but hey it's Saturday and I'm done!!! Let's have more like this week. Onward Crushers!!!! See you Wednesday.

Well, the March 15 batch is here. Nothing too nasty up until 2383, which is where I am currently stuck. Probably wouldn't be as bad, with a color bomb or two (or three) after a lot of bombs have been released, I just haven't been able to arrange that yet. Getting the required score, and surviving until out of moves seems unlikely if trying to pick off a couple bombs at a time.

Hey MB, you say they are no hard levels up to 2383. Did you just get lucky on 2379 or just use lots of boosters because this level is far from easy. There's so many uncontrollable variables like whether you get a good start, the orientation of the stripes etc. I've had 20 goes and not come remotely close. Maybe you just got lucky.

In answer to the 2379 question, just a coconut wheel and a fish (and a pretty lucky board). Took seven tries. Turns out 2386 was the biggest headache. Got two lucky color bombs near the end (to match up with bombs)and still just barely got enough points. NOTHING seems to produce points as expected, but once in a while more points than normal show up.

Back to harvesting sugar drops for next weeks boosters. This week didn't really use that many.

Have any of you lost the sugar drops in the last few days? I harvest them while waiting for the new levels to be released but they are totally gone on both my devices! They didn't even appear on the NEW levels this week.

Glad to see you on the trail again MB. Just finished this batch and I thought there were some fun ones at the end of this last week. A bit tricky but not too bad... some nasty ones in the middle though.... onward crushers I just made it under the wire this week.

Hi Christine, I saw that you finished, congrats! I just started the new batch, but ran out of lives on the third one. Seems like a fun level, I just got sloppy. Have to start trying to sleep once in a while.

Finished this weeks batch yesterday afternoon. I started out trying to do it without boosters. Then, at 2400, I used two hammers. 2401 took two hammers and a fish. A check booster helped finish 2402 and two more hammers aided in getting rid of the cake on 2403. Oh well, what's done is done. Again the absence of a timed level was enjoyed!

...more on 2402. I just tried to do it without boosters and came up one color bomb short. Again I added a check booster (really bored this morning and have over 200 of them. Almost never use a check anymore) The game started with the checked matched with two candies and it turned into a color bomb. in the process a wrap ended up next to the color bomb. I set it off. The resultant cascade went on for a loooong time clearing the board of popcorn and forming even more color bombs. I lost count of how many color bombs formed and detonated, but it was way more than needed. 1 move round!!! WEIRD!

Yea, I see you parked there on 2403. I spent a bunch of lives trying to do it without boosters today. No luck. There just are not enough moves to do it unless you can get rid of the cake fairly early. I could be wrong, but as of now, that's my take on it. Goodest luck!

Well I got done... used boosters all the way to the end. Not bad with boosters. Used a fish and color bomb on the last one, which Cookie says is easy....I will try it again just to see:) I got 2404 with a checked in the end after staying there for too long...Onward Crushers see you all next Wednesday.....

Don't know if anyone has posted this before, but here is what I discovered last night. I use an Android, when you have the lucky helmet, if you lose that level just close out candy crush with a swipe, don't hit try again or end, just restart the game and the helmet is still there. No need to go back to play easier levels to collect the helmet. Not sure if it works on iPhones but worth a shot. Now to beat this dreaded level!
